I don't see how you possibly see Second gen in that at all, other than wanting it to be that. Let's face it it's a slight face lift with a bit tweaked rear that looks more like the new mustang more than anything.

That Camaro render actually looks to me a bit similar to the current Camaro.

Considering that its bumping down from the positively ancient Zeta chassis to the Alpha chassis, in theory, it should be much smaller. Thing is, we don't know if the Camaro is getting a variant that's closer in size to the ATS, CTS, or an entirely different setup just for the Camaro. As much as I'd like to believe that its running on an ATS-sized platform, realistically, I don't know if GM would downsize it that much. The ATS Coupe is exactly three inches narrower and seven inches shorter without giving up any major amounts of space in the interior... So I could be wrong.

It seems reasonable, as the Camaro sits in-between the ATS and CTS in terms of size already. But, I don't know if GM would want to throw that much engineering at the car when they've already got two pretty good starting places ready to go. The CTS' would probably be far too big and far too heavy (well, relatively speaking) for the goals they seem to have in mind - moving the car closer to the Challenger than the Mustang. The ATS' would probably move the Camaro to be very close to the Mustang in size and weight, or possibly smaller, and if the 2.0T is going to be an engine option, I'd assume that'd be a better choice going forward.
The only thing they'd really need to worry about is product overlap when you get down to that size. Shoehorning a V8 into the ATS probably won't be a problem, but, preventing that Camaro SS from stepping on too many of the ATS-V's toes will be. Given that it'd be the same size, with the extra cylinders people want, it causes a bit of a pickle.

That's a Chaparral, not the GM design machine.

But wasn't it GM who designed the 2X?

Looks like a 6th Gen Mustang from the rear 3/4.

Hot Rod Magazine is claiming the ZL2 will be around 3,400lbs, have a split bumper option along with various intakes/scoops, and a automatic-adjustable rear wing like the Veyron. They are also saying a new engine with displace a familiar 396ci, and will be twin turbocharged along with a turbo 4 cyl for the base models. The new LT6 smallblock will make more than the LT4's 650 lb-ft of torque and they are saying the LT6 uses "twin Garrett GT3776 55mm inducer turbos", each good for 500hp. They say the engine with 8psi is good for 808hp on the dyno and will still be able to rev very high due to a lightweight but strong rotating assembly. The LT4 will be carried over but the new LT6 uses CNC ported head castings from the LT4. Apparently Allison transmissions has been brought in to develop an automatic, and the 7 speed manual is confirmed and possibly and 8 speed.

Interesting move in bringing back the 396 CI V8 if that actually happens. I really am wondering if that means that the future COPOs will be turbocharged as well. 800 HP makes it seem like it's going to be a Hellcat fighter. It also probably won't be long before some of the aftermarket is already making 1,000 hp with that LT6 if does indeed make 800.
